Pod looks great Alex!! Glad to finally see it installed in the truck!!

1slow01z71- yes the pod can me fitted to set further in, just have to do a little trimming on the pod to cubby mating surface. For the most part it is flush with the bottom lip tho.

Looks great! Looks like I need to come up with some gauges so I can put my name on the list.

What about color matching the console? You think that would be too gawdy? I don't know what all you have done to the interior, or what you have in mind for the future. Just a thought.

Thanks for all the comments guys! I like it alot better then the pillar pods. Keeps the gauges somewhat hidden from the outside.

It is flush with the console, guess it just looks pushed out in the picture .

As far as color matching goes, my truck used to have the tan Work truck interior. It now has all charcoal interior out of an 05 except the headliner and the back wall carpet. I also have both charcoal captains chairs with the armrests and they are power seats. I also have a full center console from the 03+ and its painted black. I'm thinking about painting the console black when I rewire the lights but I may just leave it.
